Human Rights Issues

Introduction

Human rights have always been an important issue among the governments and their citizens in almost every country. The authorities seek to eliminate those activities that violate basic human rights of people.

On the other hand some cultural practices also give rise to human rights issues and those will also be discussed in this paper from the perspectives of non-western population.

Combating discrimination is an essential component of decent work and achievements impact far beyond the workplace. Discriminatory practice at workplaces or during recruitment increases the possibilities of crimes among the victims because they lose hopes and their talents and skills go in vain (Trentham and Larwood, pp. 1-28). Owing to this fact, they become involved in criminal practices in order to survive in the society and to let out their frustration.

War on Drugs

War on drugs has been fought or more than 50 years across the globe in order to achieve the goal of “Drug Free World” yet the trade and supply of drug has increased rather than descending.
